SUMMARY:2022 United Nations Ocean Conference side event: From ocean knowled
 ge to action - developing capacity to create a sustainable ocean economy
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Background note:\n\nIt is only through synchronous layers of ca
 pacity development – from entry-level approaches for the wider public to
  knowledge-sharing between experts and high-level decision-makers and gove
 rnment officials – that the diffusion of Ocean Knowledge will turn into 
 Ocean Action. While the urgency and timeliness of capacity development has
  been increasingly acknowledged internationally and regionally\, knowledge
  on the ocean economy remains somewhat fragmented. The United Nations Inst
 itute for Training and Research (UNITAR)\, the United Nations Conference o
 n Trade and Development (UNCTAD)\, the International Ocean Institute (IOI)
 \, and GOAL Global are joining forces to present the resources they can of
 fer towards capacity development\, which come to full effectiveness when s
 ynergized.\n\nUNITAR\, in cooperation with the One Ocean Hub and the Unive
 rsity of Strathclyde\, will launch the knowledge-translation platform “O
 ne Ocean Learn”. UNCTAD will present its database on ocean trade drawing
  for the first time on all official data reported by UN member states and 
 covering both goods and services. IOI will provide an overview of IOI’s 
 long-standing capacity building initiatives and training opportunities\, w
 ith special emphasis on the IOI Ocean Academy\, an online\, easily accessi
 ble\, free-to-all ocean literacy product designed to support the local and
  regional literacy needs of stakeholders and interested persons. GOAL Glob
 al will present its Resilience of the Blue Economy strategy\, which uses a
 n innovative Local Systems Approach that leverages the potential of critic
 al markets systems to create incentives for social inclusion and environme
 ntal conservation. \n\nThe event will identify the partnerships that can 
 be achieved to create synergies for ocean action. Ms. Alicia Montalvo\, Ma
 nager of Climate Action and Positive Biodiversity at the Development Bank 
 of Latin America (CAF)\, will introduce the CAF Observatory for conservati
 on and sustainable use of marine biodiversity\, with a focus on the Caribb
 ean and Easter Tropical Pacific Corridor (CMAR).\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\nMs. Ant
